notes

Hailing from Cambridge, UK, Behind Bars' music is never easy to classify; it's not just rock, funk, jazz or pop — their music covers all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and musical proficiency to match.

Although following a classic rock line-up, they are very song and melody oriented led by guitar and keyboards. One minute, you'll find yourself singing along to memorable, catchy hooks, the next smacking your head against to wall to kick-a** rock riffs.

Behind Bars was originally formed in January 2006 by guitarist James Coppolaro and keyboardist Jamie Brooks who teamed up with the long-standing rhythm section of Pete Scrivener on bass and Dave Brooks on drums.

They have since created a performing and song style that is a unique fusion of rock, funk, jazz and pop - their music covers all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and musical proficiency to match. It is often difficult to classify, but it has yielded music that is both accessible and commercial with strong and very credible rock roots.

As a performing entity they generate an exciting, fresh rock vibe. Behind Bars are some of the best musicians around and are bursting with talent and energy.

Their first EP - Trust No One - conveys the flavour of their songwriting style and musicianship. With 3 tracks, it captures a small but powerful sample of what is to come from this exciting new talent.

  • I don't usually get into rock music
    author: bpositive

    I don't usually get into rock music, but I really like Don't Walk Away. The guitar riffs are A-1 ripping out captivating melodies. Vocals are excellent also. Very skilled craftsmen at work on this one. A must buy for rock and roller collections.

  • Great Work
    author: Johnny S. - Goshawk

    The sound, music, and vocals are top notch. Would recommend to anyone.

  • Something truly amazing - great sound, songwriting and musicianship
    author: Kev Cooke

    This is difficult, there's so much to say... The overall sound is huge, the songs are great, and there's no weak link in the band. The singer voice soars, the guitar leads even more so, solid rhythm section, and airy/atmospheric keyboard sounds. All three tunes have their hooks that will ensure you keep listening back, and are really memorable. High recommended!

    I really this! It kinda' sounds like a mixture of Neil Young and Pink Floyd. Good stuff!

    Stumbled upon this band on isounds, top notch songs. Really surprised they aren't signed, judging by the quality of this cd.

  • Great songs!! Definitely recommend you have a listen :)
    author: bear_girlie

    I stumbled upon Behind Bars on Isound.com and absolutely love the music! Their sound is truly unique...I am sure it won't be long before these guys are signed :) Peace, Bear_Girlie :)

  • Why aren't these guys signed?
    author: Yoichiro

    I stumbled across this band on MySpace and was astounded they aren't signed to a major rock label. In the sea of anonymously average bands around today, they stand head, shoulders and everything else above the rest. They can play their instuments, write well crafted, interesting songs and have produced a great CD - proper music!

  • Brilliant, I can’t wait for more.
    author: Pete

    These songs are brilliant. One doesn't often hear great new music in this day and age. I can't wait for an album from Behind Bars.

  • Raw talent, searing style and immense musical taste!
    author: Matt

    Finally some new music with an edge.. from blues to fusion to rock, these guys take originality to a new level! Each song brings something totally fresh to the compilation, I couldn't believe how well written the material was! It seems new music is in safe hands.

  • Great blend of melodic rock and huge talent
    author: Jo and Jez

    A brilliant combination of sounds which is obviously backed by huge talent. Perfect balance of melody, harmonies and a good old fashioned rock guitar but with a bit of funkiness chucked in for good measure. Favourite has got to be Don't Walk Away - really love the angsty vocals. Can't wait for the full album boys!

  • author: The Sound Tyre Man

    Awesome! It's a real work of art. If you like your Rock to have a bit of class, you will love this! This CD has it all, Great playing! Great arrangements! Great production! Buy it, you KNOW you want to!

  • the outstanding musicianship is only surpassed by the inventive songwriting
    author: glynn osborne

    the music grabs your senses and wedges itself firmly into your head. top quality songs and professional sound will surely mean that this band are set for international recognition. a unique approach to the music marketplace of today. buy the cd, see them live, worship their existence.

  • Blown away!
    author: Marysia

    These songs will quite simply blow you away...! A great fresh sound with the musical genius of the likes of Toto. You won't be able to get these songs out of your head! I sure can't! Behind Bars - I salute you!
